Castle Rock does not mandate curbside recycling or run its own program. Residents recycle through their private hauler, drop electronics for free recycling, and use the Douglas County A-to-Z Recycle Guide. A community recycling center operates Saturday mornings at 701 Prairie Hawk Drive.
Recycling in Castle Rock is voluntary and market-based; the Town states it "does not provide trash removal or recycling services." Residents who want single-stream recycling arrange it with a private hauler, and HOA collection often bundles it. A community recycling center operates from 10 a.m. to noon every Saturday at 701 Prairie Hawk Drive. Electronics and computers can be recycled for free through partner drop-offs, and Douglas County's A-to-Z Recycle Guide covers other materials. Christmas trees are recycled at several Town locations each January. There is no ordinance requiring residents to separate recyclables.
No penalty applies to not recycling; the Town encourages diversion but does not mandate it by ordinance.
